[HP] The Last Demon King

Chapter 24 Dementors [2 revisions]

On September [-]st, no one took Eridins to the station. Arthur and Arnold disappeared after a big quarrel, and Arnold stayed by Anna's side every day. When Si came to the station via the Knight Bus, she almost missed the time. Almost as soon as she stepped on the express, the train started.

She carried the big-headed cage, and randomly found a compartment with a seat to sit in. Besides her, there were already two Slytherin students sitting in it, who seemed to be in the second grade. Seeing Eridins, they The lazy sitting posture immediately became energetic, and the two pairs of eyes drifted to her direction excitedly from time to time.

"Hmph, haven't you seen an owl as evil and mad as you are?" Big-headed wings patted on the cage, staring at the round eyes that were already big enough to threaten.

Aridins took out a book and read it.

It started to rain outside the window, and the raindrops hit the glass windows non-stop. As time passed, the sky gradually became darker. She quietly looked at the book in her hand until the light outside the window was too dark to support her reading any more.

For some reason, the train was getting slower and slower, and the two second-year students next to them were talking about maybe arriving, but Eridins knew that from the time point of view, it was impossible to reach Hogwarts.

Suddenly, the train jolted and stopped completely.

Eridins stood up, wand in her robes, and at the same moment all the lights went out and darkness enveloped the train.

Eridins' wand glowed, she left a ball of light in the carriage, and walked out with the big head in her hand. The big head immediately pointed in a direction: "Master Malfoy is in this direction!"

Aridins walked over.

"It's right in front! In front! That's right, I can smell the highest quality owl wet food! Tuna-flavored—" the big head yelled like crazy in the cage.

Standing at the door of the carriage identified by the big head, Eridins wanted to see if Malfoy was inside, but a man in a cloak who was almost as tall as the ceiling blocked her entire view.

Eridins opened the door and walked in, and she found Malfoy, but he was curled up in a corner strangely, holding his head, and the terrified expressions on the faces of the twins beside him made Eridins think she had misread it for a moment.

"Master, master, Datou feels uncomfortable—" After she entered the carriage, Datou suddenly became listless, sweeping away the previous excitement.

Malfoy looked up when he heard Big Head's voice, and Eridins saw the horror on his face.

The owner of the cloak turned to her, but she saw nothing, it was pitch black, and the cloak looked at her - if it had eyes, and stretched out a scabbed, rotting hand from under the cloak. Reach out to her.

She frowned, and a blue-white flame immediately appeared on the cloaked monster out of thin air, but the cloaked monster stood intact in the flame like a phantom, while the iron sheet at the top of the flame was distorted and blackened due to the high temperature.

It has no substance, maybe spells such as soul imprisonment will be effective, but any spell that harms the soul is a serious black magic, and most importantly, she doesn't know any such spells, but fortunately, the cloaked monster reached out It retracted halfway, and it looked at Eridins a few more times before leaving the compartment.

"Oh, can you take the magic back? I'm dying of heat," said Fred feebly.

The flame disappeared in an instant, and only the blackened iron skin on the top of the head proved that it had existed.

"You two in the same carriage?" Eridins looked at them and then at Malfoy.

"Of course not." George said listlessly, "He was frightened by the dementors to our place."

"Nonsense, I just went to the wrong car." Malfoy retorted in a weak voice, when he finally stood up, his face was pale and his body was still shaking.

It turned out that it was a dementor, Eridins had only seen it in books before, and a dementor had no body or soul, and even soul-damaging spells would not work on it.

Aridins helped Malfoy out of the carriage, and when the lights came on again, she extinguished the light on her wand.

"Are dementors useless to you?" Malfoy asked.

"Basically." Eridins was still somewhat affected, but the effect was too small and only made her feel uncomfortable.

Eridins held the birdcage in one hand and helped him back to his original carriage with the other. Goyle and Crabbe in the carriage also had lingering shock on their faces at the moment.

After a while, they finally returned to normal, when the train also arrived at Hogwarts.

They still ride in the winged horse-drawn carriage. Eridins later found this kind of creature called thestral in the book. Only people who have seen death can see it, which can explain why most of them The students thought that these carriages drove automatically, but Eridins was even more puzzled, because since she could remember, she had never witnessed death with her own eyes.

After getting out of the car, she found Potter among the crowd and asked, "Can you see thestrals?"

Weasley and Granger guarded him, watching her warily, and Potter looked puzzled: "What is a Thestral?"

"The winged horses that pull the carts."

"You mean there are horses pulling the carts?" Potter looked at the carriages again in surprise.

Now Eridins confirmed that Potter could not see the thestrals, he witnessed the death of his parents in the state of a baby, so it can be deduced that the condition for seeing thestrals is to directly witness the death with consciousness and memory, but After sorting out her memory, she really didn't witness the death with her own eyes, not even the death of cats and dogs, so why was she able to see thestrals?

When the two ends of the equal sign are not equal, there must be an error at one end. Now there are two possibilities. One is that the conditions for seeing the Thestrals are wrong. Apart from witnessing death, there are other ways to see thestrals; The memory is wrong, "she sorted out all the memories but did not find the moment when she witnessed the death with her own eyes", which means "in the memory she didn't know, she had witnessed the death with her own eyes".

"What's wrong with you?" Potter asked.

Aritins shook her head and returned to the Slytherin ranks.

"What did you tell Scarhead?" Malfoy said lazily when he saw her come back, and Eridins could hear the displeasure in his words.

"It's nothing."

Upon hearing this answer, Malfoy was very dissatisfied, snorted coldly, and went to talk to Goyle beside him.

Eridins doesn't have time to smooth his hair now, she is still thinking about where there is a mistake at both ends of the equal sign, if it's just the first one, then it's okay, if it's the second...

After the sorting ceremony that night, Slytherin had dozens of new students, including Greengrass' little sister, and the other Eredins didn't know each other.

"Welcome!" Dumbledore stood up, his long beard gleamed in the light of the candles, his smile was kind and friendly, he was very popular in the other three houses, but Eridins could never trust him , but this is not surprising, she can't trust anyone.

Dumbledore went on to explain why the Dementors were there, that they were hunting a dangerous fugitive named Black, and that they were on guard outside the school to keep the students safe, before announcing that two new teachers had joined the school this year.

"The first is Professor Lupine, who graciously agreed to fill the vacancy in Defense Against the Dark Arts."

The applause from the student group was sparse. The teacher named Lu Ping sitting on the teacher's bench was dressed in whitish clothes. It could be seen that his family was not well off. Of course, it is also possible that he didn't care about these foreign things.

When introducing Lupin, Eridins noticed Snape's expression. There have been rumors in the school that Snape wanted to take the Defense Against the Dark Arts class for a long time, but the way he looked at Lupin was not jealous or Not fair, but a strong hatred from the bottom of his bones, this kind of similar look, he has only given charity to Potter.

Then, Dumbledore announced who the teacher of the Protection of Magical Creatures class was - Hagrid.

"Oh no - that big stupid!" Malfoy growled, and the Slytherins didn't react very well, but the Gryffindor table cheered.

Early the next morning, after dinner, Aridins and Malfoy separated. One of them went to study ancient runes, and the other went to study arithmetic and divination.

Ancient rune is probably the most obscure subject she has ever studied. On the way to the second class, Malfoy asked her how she felt about ancient rune. She thought for a while and replied, "It's a bit difficult."

According to the current progress, it will take about three months for her to start deciphering the ancient runes independently. This speed is unacceptably slow. Eridins decided to postpone the study of the sixth grade course and focus on ancient runes.

It's not unreasonable for her to value the study of ancient magic texts so much. According to legend, ancient magic can shake the heavens and earth, and can move the wind and rain. Even the Avada Kedavra, which has become so popular now, is just the most basic one in the Kedav. Kind of, compared with the lost ancient magic, modern magic is as shabby as Lupin's clothes.

"I've advised you a long time ago. Arithmetic divination is much easier than ancient runes. Although it requires constant calculations, it is better than ancient runes." Malfoy said happily. "The only downside is that there's that Mudblood, Granger."
